Several manufacturers make hiitches designed specifically for the CR-V. They SHOULD be "bolt and go." (i.e. - the mounting holes drilled into the hitch brackets should match up with the pre-drilled holes already in the frame/body.)

An OEM trailer hitch from any of the major hitch manufacturers will line up perfectly with holes and/or bolts already installed in the frame of the vehicle. Just line up the hitch to bolt holes and "do it." With the proper tools it is a simple procedure.
